While there are a lot of "right" things to say during a sales conversation, there are also some “wrong” things that could turn a potential customer away. Sales calls can be high-pressure situations for a sales rep, as it can be difficult to hit all the right notes and say the right things to convert a prospect into a paying customer. But just as important as knowing what to say is knowing what not to say. For instance, immediate questions about budget and when to follow up might be perceived as pushy and turn a potential customer off from working with you. To help sales teams avoid this fate and instead win their prospects over, a group of successful entrepreneurs explain which questions to avoid during a sales conversation and why.
